Depreciation on the value of the building as revalued prior to conversion of the erstwhile partnership firm into a private limited company - the prerequisite for invoking explanation 3 to Section 43(1) of the ITA was that the AO had to establish that the main purpose of the transfer of such asset was to reduce the income-tax liability by claiming extra depreciation on enhanced cost. The Court held that the AO had not recorded any finding in this regard. Accordingly, the Court held that the Assessee was entited to claim depreciation on the intangible assets. Therefore where a partnership firm revalues its intangibles (being eligible for depreciation) prior to succession into a company, the company is entitled to depreciation on such assets as per the revalued figures. - AT
